As far as Holland goes, just show me you have a plan. I may not agree with your plan, but at least have one. To make a baseball comparison, the Tigers are going to suck hard and it may not pay off right away or even at all, but at least they have a clear direction.

He has a plan. It’s to stay competitive while developing young players and without losing future assets. This would have been a fine plan a few years ago, but I think it’s come a little too late. Those Legwand and Cole deals never should have happened. The writing was on the wall the moment Lidstrom retired. But I’m not sure how much I can blame KH for wanting to give Z and Dats one more shot at a cup. Even if it was very unlikely.

We can debate his execution of this plan (UFA contracts have been particularly questionable) or if a full rebuild is a better route to success (it probably is), but he’s not aimless.

Only trade for picks. Do not trade for anything else, anything human and breathing leave alone. Again only trade for picks, maybe prospects to fill holes, I said maybe. I assume KH knows what a prospect is..

Resign AA,Larkin, Mantha, Mrazek, ...Get rid of anyone over 30 for picks, Helm, Aby, one ofTatar/Goose (probably Goose, flip a coin) for picks.Howard rental for playoff team, not sure what to do with him actually? Buyout? Booth can go flying, Wit can bruise his knucles.

Call up GR prospects, if there are any left.

If Z retires scratch all above, Kronner will never leave. XO is unknown, eating hot dogs
